i don't want to work

i have 1.5 more days and i don't want to work. my new system isn't working, the people i have to work for are getting shittier and shittier and making it so that i don't want to do anything for them and i'm getting totally antsy.

GAH!

any suggestions

on how to make the floor a comfortable place to sit?

we had this, this close to our faces,

and now I am sad that even though Ryan is retired and you are running around the world, that no matter how much I wish and dream, that magic that changed so much for me musically...is gone. Death is so dumb.

the best thing i've seen all week!

fitting

with regards to last night's news...

the first song on the itunes this morning - "why do they leave?"

motherfucker.

stuff...

the little things are going FAST on craiglist, but the furniture... there's no interest at all in it. the couch, my rocking chair, my little 4 top shelves... :(

i'm all out of electronics except the ones i'm bringing with me. ha! and tomorrow i'll be out of kitchen stuff too. hello cereal for all 3 meals for the next 2 weeks or so.

this is kinda weird.

live musica

I am taking the boy to see Todd tonight. :)

SHOES!

i just got my shoes. they're purple and awesome. thus begins the break in period.

these next few weeks are going to CRAWL by.

Ch-ching.

Seriously. If Steve is even getting 5 cents for every time XM is playing "You Remind Me" on the Singer and Songwriter station, he is a happy, happy man.

I'm guessing you are going to be on the other side of the world in February?

where am I again?

It is 30 degrees outside, and says it feels like 25. WHAT?!

i can't recommend

these pants enough:

marisa fit

i can't stop looking at my ass in these pants. it's FABULOUS!

music in context

Has there ever been a band, that you thought you didn't like, but in the end, you heard them in a different place and context and couldn't believe you didn't like them before? I've been in the "I need to blast the black keys through my ear drums" mood this past week or two at work, and I'm finding that while I rarely found myself drawn to anything more than the trendiest of White Stripes songs in the past, in the context of this station on Pandora and my need for that raw amplified electric guitar, I'm finding they are delicious and wonderful. It is very weird, because I can remember being pretty unenthusiastic about them before, but now, wow!

douche

The user picture here for this page, is absolutely hilarious.

ps

i'm officially reformatting and selling penelope the powerbook on tuesday. i hope i get at least $100 for her. she's a good little kitten.

i REALLY need to decide

where i'm going to start. REALLY. and i don't even know how to begin to decide.

i found this website that has airfares to western europe under $500 and oceania under $850 which is SUPER great considering i'm leaving from austin.

HOW DO I DECIDE?!?!

Happy Thanksgiving from Ireland.

In honor of where we were supposed to be, (or one of the places) I went to Flickr and found this image that was taken today so we could see what our sky looks like.

You already know how gay I am for you, but I really am thankful for you and the very unique you that you bring to my life.

It is sunny and cold here today, it feels like fall and my house smells like roasted squash. I'm happy. I hope you're having an awesome day.

i got it

the backpack. it's perfect. i've named him oliver.

oliver the osprey porter.

he's all black and grey and rarin' to go. i can carry him as a duffel 2 ways with backpack straps that zip into the back of the pack so they don't hang out and get caught on crap. he fits in the overhead compartments. he's SUPER light and i want to cuddle with him until i put him to good use.

and EVERYONE loves him. as you can tell from the super rad reviews.

I did not know this was a real place.

I think I should visit it.

I have not watched this yet, but thought you might like it.

photo project

If you were going to take a picture of one thing in every city that you visited, what do you think is some neat, obscure thing that varies or doesn't vary between cultures, that at the end of your tour would make a really neat and fun set of your travels?

This could be a lifetime project...for both of us.
